Happy 2-year bandiversary to me!

[Guest guest]

Wow, how time flies!

I was banded by Dr. Kuri 7/21/06. I was 38 and starting at a weight

of 367. I lost 100 pounds in 14 months. Then I kind of teetered

around the 100 pounds lost mark for about 3 months, but struggled

with a fill that was probably too tight. This caused me to drink

calories, eat soft foods, and not lose much.

December 2, 2007 my mother passed away, and a week later we found out

I was pregnant. Of course, like most obese women, I had been told I

was infertile, and would never have children. Three days before I

turned 40, and miles from my home in Washington, back in Michigan

where my mother had lived, I had it confirmed at a clinic that I was

indeed pregnant.

According to my doctor's records, which look better than my records,

I have only gained about 25 pounds in the pregnancy, at 36 weeks. I

am due anytime within the next 4 weeks. I did develop gestational

diabetes, so am having to take insulin to control it. This has

actually helped me make better food choices than I may have.

While I am getting bigger every day, I am not stressed out about it,

because I know I have the band to help me now and when I have

delivered. I am so thankful to Dr. Kuri for his expertise and skill

to place this tool. I'm thankful for this board and those that have

offered helpful advice over the past 2 years, and I thank God for our

little miracle baby girl to come soon.

Happy 2-year bandiversary to me!

Congratulations and best wishes. God has indeed blessed you in so

many ways. I know that after you deliver you'll start losing again.

And sooner than you can imagine you'll be REALLY getting lots of

exercise lugging around a baby, chasing a crawling baby, chasing a two

year old, teaching her to ride a bike, and ... and...

cheers
